Scientists have found evidence that amino acids, the chemical building blocks of life (specifically proteins), formed on the asteroid Bennu when it was so far from the Sun as to be frozen. This ...

Abstract: This study examines how removing surface materials affects the rotational dynamics of an asteroid to design efficient asteroid mining plans. The simulations solve Euler’s equations and track ...

Dust from asteroid Bennu is revealing a surprising origin story for life’s building blocks. New research suggests some amino acids formed in frozen ice exposed to radiation, not warm liquid water as ...

Asteroid 44 Nysa may be just past opposition, but it’s still placed perfectly for evening viewing in Cancer the Crab. Wait until a few hours after sunset, when Cancer is high in the eastern sky, and ...

Researchers are uncovering the evolutionary steps that set the stage for dinosaurs to rule the planet Amy McDermott, PNAS Front Matter Paleontologists have found early examples of theropods, the group ...

When NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft scooped up samples from asteroid Bennu and brought them back to Earth, scientists expected to find amino acids and clues about how they formed. In other words, the ...

Early last year, asteroid 2024 YR4 caught the public’s attention as its chances of hitting Earth in the near future climbed to 3.1 percent. This was the highest probability of a strike by an object of ...

Amino acids, the building blocks necessary for life, were previously found in samples of 4.6-billion-year-old rocks from an asteroid called Bennu, delivered to Earth in 2023 by NASA's OSIRIS-REx ...

Scientists studying asteroid Bennu have discovered that key amino acids may have formed in icy, radiation-rich environments rather than warm water. The findings suggest life’s basic ingredients can ...
